I Didn’t Earn Slavery Reparations, and I Don’t Want Them by Burgess Owens

At the core of the reparation movement is a divisive and demeaning view of both races. It grants to the white race a wicked superiority, treating them as an oppressive people too powerful for black Americans to overcome. It brands blacks as hapless victims devoid of the ability, which every other culture possesses, to assimilate and progress. Neither label is earned.

This article is so powerful and the clear answer we need to racial animosity.

I Want My Son To Become A Better Writer by Joshua Gibbs

I Want My Son To Become A Better Writer by Joshua Gibbs

Until your students quote Shakespeare and Dante as freely as they quote Drake, they won’t become better writers. More grammar means more reading, more recitations, more plays performed, more poems read aloud, more students referencing Hamlet, Claudius, Gertrude, Dante, Donne, Bronte, Austen, Whitman, Hopkins, and so forth. There is no point in teaching students the art of arrangement when all they have to arrange are trite feelings, dull sentiments, and trendy turns of phrase. Thus, the solution to poor writing is not more writing but more memorization of beautiful, canonical texts.

Another brilliant insight from my favorite teacher.

The Nature of Progressive Insensitivity By Victor Davis Hanson

The Nature of Progressive Insensitivity By Victor Davis Hanson

Finally, there is a final and mostly cynical explanation for the recent spate of progressive intolerance. Those who are by nature or habit intolerant mask their resulting guilt or fear by progressive virtue-signaling and occasional inadvertent revelations of their own moral selves.

I have to say that I agree 100% that so much of the Left's criticisms are simply projections. They ARE what they claim the Right is.

Insightful piece into the societal effects of social media.

After Academia by Allen Farrington

After Academia by Allen Farrington

Higher education has become a transfer of wealth from the future earnings of the aspirational lower and middle classes to a metastasizing administrative parasite, which funds the permanence of the cultural elite by wielding its leverage over anybody foolish enough to dissent.

Yet another prescient article predicting the future of education based on the toxic waste it has become.

Why Christian Children Don’t Belong In Public Schools by Aaron Ames

Why Christian Children Don’t Belong In Public Schools by Aaron Ames

Let’s get right to the point: many Christians throughout history shared the idea that God is the fundamental source of all truth, whether religious, academic, or otherwise. But what are we to make of a student who has spent 15 to 20 years studying academics without ever considering God’s relationship to these fields of knowledge? Does this kind of education not actually imply that God is not the source of all knowledge and truth?

We teach kids that God is not relevant to what's important to know and wonder why they grow up to believe that God is not important.
